Frequently asked questions
What is the qualifying period for income protection?
+
The qualifying period is the time you must have had (and paid for) the insurance before you can get paid. It is typically 5-9 months: Frie 5 months, Ase / CA / Krifa / Det Faglige Hus / Lederne / GF 6 months, Djøf / Topdanmark / IDA / Alka / MA 9 months. If you are terminated during the period, you are not covered.
See FAQ →What is the difference between a waiting period and a qualifying period?
+
The qualifying period runs from purchasing the policy until cover begins. The waiting period (karens or selvrisiko) is the number of days from becoming unemployed until payments start: for example, 28 days with Ase, 30 with CA and 45 with Djøf. Some providers use “karens” for the qualifying period, so read the terms.
See FAQ →Are income protection payments taxable?
+
Yes. Income protection payments are taxed as ordinary A-income, but no labour market contribution (AM-bidrag) is payable on them. Income protection is therefore not tax-free.
